Founders of design studios typically come from the agency and consulting world. As clients ourselves, we noticed a consistent gap in the impact of the work and long-term ownership of the recommendations.

We believe design teams should act with the same urgency and ownership as the founders and business leaders they serve. This requires years of built-up scar tissue from working on in-house teams.

That's why we founded KOPPER; to be a true partner.
